Sinn Féin's Mary Lou McDonald and the Taoiseach were involved in yet another spat in the Dáil chamber this afternoon, after Leo Varadkar said McDonald was "cranky".
Replying to the Taoiseach, the Sinn Féin deputy leader said Varadkar was "facile" and "dismissive".
Harsh words have been exchanged between the pair in recent days, with the Taoiseach yesterday accusing McDonald of being scripted, and stating that she reminds him of Marine Le Pen.
It continued into Leaders’ Questions today, when he said Sinn Féin members were constantly interrupting him when he was speaking and again, stating that its deputy leader must spend a lot of time rehearsing her Dáil contributions http://jrnl.ie/3618929

Speaking on Friday morning, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar cut an optimistic figure as he confirmed that no physical infrastructure or border checks would be in place between Northern Ireland and the Republic. "First of all, the Good Friday Agreement in all its parts is protected," he said.
"Secondly everyone born in Northern Ireland will continue to have the right to Irish - and therefore EU - citizenship... third, the Common Travel Area will continue, allowing us to travel freely between Britain and Ireland.
"British and Irish citizens will continue to have the freedom to live work, study, access housing, healthcare pensions and welfare in each other's countries as if we were citizens of both."
On the border, he added: "There will be no physical infrastructure or related checks or controls."
Varadkar insisted the "Northern Ireland and Great Britain will not drift apart" and said that his ultimate hope is for a "deep and comprehensive agreement between the EU and the UK in its entirety" but that today's announcement that there will be no hard border represents a good deal for Ireland.
"Our preferred option is, of course, a deep and comprehensive agreement between the EU and the UK in its entirety - which will allow us to trade as we do now," he said.
"However that might not be possible - so there is a backstop arrangement in place in which Northern Ireland, and perhaps all of the United Kingdom, will maintain full alignment with the rules of the internal market and customs union which are relevant to the avoidance of a border, North-South cooperation and the all-island economy.
"Sixth, people and businesses in Northern Ireland are being given the additional assurance that the United Kingdom government will ensure that Northern Ireland business will continue to have unfettered access to the whole of the UK, and that no new barriers will develop between Northern Ireland and Great Britain unless the Northern Ireland executive and assembly agree to it.
"Northern Ireland and Great Britain will not drift apart."

LEO Varadkar is the new leader of FineGael and on course to become Ireland’s first gay Taoiseach.

Vote for Taoiseach: After welcoming Varadkar’s family to the Dáil, Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams gets straight into criticising Varadkar – challenging his record in the departments of health and social protection.
Referring to Varadkar’s age, Adams says “not all young people are progressive” and he fears the new leader will “drag this government even further to the right”.
On a much lighter note, Adams then says he doesn’t know Varadkar well but they once attended the same pilates class.

Personal life

During an interview on RTÉ on 18 January 2015 (his 36th birthday), Varadkar spoke publicly for the first time about being gay: "it’s not something that defines me. I'm not a half-Indian politician, or a doctor politician or a gay politician for that matter. It’s just part of who I am, it doesn’t define me, it is part of my character I suppose". He is the first openly gay cabinet member in Ireland.
Varadkar was a prominent advocate of the same-sex marriage referendum.

The island's geography comprises relatively low-lying mountains surrounding a central plain, with several navigable rivers extending inland. The island has lush vegetation, a product of its mild but changeable climate which avoids extremes in temperature. Thick woodlands covered the island until the Middle Ages. As of 2013, the amount of land that is wooded in Ireland is about 11% of the total, compared with a European average of 35%. There are 26 extant mammal species native to Ireland. The Irish climate is very moderated and classified as oceanic. As a result, winters are milder than expected for such a northerly area. However, summers are cooler than those in Continental Europe. Rainfall and cloud cover are abundant.

Since 2013, Android is the best selling on tablets; and on smartphones the OS is dominant, thereby giving it the largest installed base of all operating systems of any kind.

Initially developed by Android, Inc., which Google bought in 2005, Android was unveiled in 2007, along with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance–a consortium of hardware, software, and telecommunication companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices.As of July 2013, the Google Play store has had over one million Android applications ("apps") published, and over 50 billion applications downloaded. An April–May 2013 survey of mobile application developers found that 71% of developers create applications for Android, and a 2015 survey found that 40% of full-time professional developers see Android as their priority target platform, which is comparable to Apple's iOS on 37% with both platforms far above others. At Google I/O 2014, the company revealed that there were over one billion active monthly Android users, up from 538 million in June 2013.

Speaking in Dublin, Mr Varadkar says his government agreed to a draft text on the Irish border drawn up by the UK and EU.
He expresses "surprise and disappointment" that the UK could not agree to the text.
While he acknowledges that Theresa May is negotiating in "good faith" and has a lot on her plate, he says he is committed to securing an agreement and moving onto the second phase of negotiations.

Varadkar insisted the "Northern Ireland and Great Britain will not drift apart" and said that his ultimate hope is for a "deep and comprehensive agreement between the EU and the UK in its entirety" but that today's announcement that there will be no hard border represents a good deal for Ireland.
"Our preferred option is, of course, a deep and comprehensive agreement between the EU and the UK in its entirety - which will allow us to trade as we do now," he said.
"However that might not be possible - so there is a backstop arrangement in place in which Northern Ireland, and perhaps all of the United Kingdom, will maintain full alignment with the rules of the internal market and customs union which are relevant to the avoidance of a border, North-South cooperation and the all-island economy.
"Sixth, people and businesses in Northern Ireland are being given the additional assurance that the United Kingdom government will ensure that Northern Ireland business will continue to have unfettered access to the whole of the UK, and that no new barriers will develop between Northern Ireland and Great Britain unless the Northern Ireland executive and assembly agree to it.
"Northern Ireland and Great Britain will not drift apart."

Speaking on Friday morning, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar cut an optimistic figure as he confirmed that no physical infrastructure or border checks would be in place between Northern Ireland and the Republic. "First of all, the Good Friday Agreement in all its parts is protected," he said.
"Secondly everyone born in Northern Ireland will continue to have the right to Irish - and therefore EU - citizenship... third, the Common Travel Area will continue, allowing us to travel freely between Britain and Ireland.
"British and Irish citizens will continue to have the freedom to live work, study, access housing, healthcare pensions and welfare in each other's countries as if we were citizens of both."
On the border, he added: "There will be no physical infrastructure or related checks or controls."

Vote for Taoiseach: After welcoming Varadkar’s family to the Dáil, Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams gets straight into criticising Varadkar – challenging his record in the departments of health and social protection.
Referring to Varadkar’s age, Adams says “not all young people are progressive” and he fears the new leader will “drag this government even further to the right”.
On a much lighter note, Adams then says he doesn’t know Varadkar well but they once attended the same pilates class.

THE UK will remain "fully aligned" to EU rules supporting Irish cross-border arrangements if no deal can be agreed, negotiators have confirmed.

Speaking on Friday morning, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar cut an optimistic figure as he confirmed that no physical infrastructure or border checks would be in place between Northern Ireland and the Republic. "First of all, the Good Friday Agreement in all its parts is protected," he said.
"Secondly everyone born in Northern Ireland will continue to have the right to Irish - and therefore EU - citizenship... third, the Common Travel Area will continue, allowing us to travel freely between Britain and Ireland.
"British and Irish citizens will continue to have the freedom to live work, study, access housing, healthcare pensions and welfare in each other's countries as if we were citizens of both."
On the border, he added: "There will be no physical infrastructure or related checks or controls."

Ian paisley claims leo varadkar was 'done over' during brexit deal
DUP MP Ian Paisley JrPicture: Liam McBurney Ian Paisley has claimed Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was "done over" last week by a combination of the EU, the UK and the DUP. Writing in the Sunday Business Post yesterday, the DUP MP gave a punchy assessment of how last week's roller coaster negotiations unfolded. "Last Monday morning Leo Varadkar believed he was about to pull off a major coup of having secured Northern Ireland harmonisation with the Republic of Ireland," he wrote. "Four days later, a new...

Speaking on Friday morning, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar cut an optimistic figure as he confirmed that no physical infrastructure or border checks would be in place between Northern Ireland and the Republic. "First of all, the Good Friday Agreement in all its parts is protected," he said.
"Secondly everyone born in Northern Ireland will continue to have the right to Irish - and therefore EU - citizenship... third, the Common Travel Area will continue, allowing us to travel freely between Britain and Ireland.
"British and Irish citizens will continue to have the freedom to live work, study, access housing, healthcare pensions and welfare in each other's countries as if we were citizens of both."
On the border, he added: "There will be no physical infrastructure or related checks or controls."
Varadkar insisted the "Northern Ireland and Great Britain will not drift apart" and said that his ultimate hope is for a "deep and comprehensive agreement between the EU and the UK in its entirety" but that today's announcement that there will be no hard border represents a good deal for Ireland.
"Our preferred option is, of course, a deep and comprehensive agreement between the EU and the UK in its entirety - which will allow us to trade as we do now," he said.
"However that might not be possible - so there is a backstop arrangement in place in which Northern Ireland, and perhaps all of the United Kingdom, will maintain full alignment with the rules of the internal market and customs union which are relevant to the avoidance of a border, North-South cooperation and the all-island economy.
"Sixth, people and businesses in Northern Ireland are being given the additional assurance that the United Kingdom government will ensure that Northern Ireland business will continue to have unfettered access to the whole of the UK, and that no new barriers will develop between Northern Ireland and Great Britain unless the Northern Ireland executive and assembly agree to it.
"Northern Ireland and Great Britain will not drift apart."

Why are so many people homeless in Ireland? - The Stream

Last year, Glen Hansard - a renowned Irish singer-songwriter and Oscar winner - went onto his country's biggest television show and announced that he was deliberately breaking the law. "We are involved in an act of civil disobedience," he told an applauding audience. That act was the occupation of a vacant government-owned building in the centre of the capital, Dublin. As Christmas approached, and the weather chilled, Hansard and a group of housing activists had decided they could no longer bear the sight of people sleeping on the streets.
They broke into the Apollo House office block and set about turning it into a homeless shelter. What they did caught the imagination in Ireland. People turned up at the building wanting to offer food and clothes, a mattress seller known locally as Matt...

Your Budget 2018 questions live with the Taoiseach and Minister for Finance

The dust has settled on Budget 2018 and the fine print is now being examined.
We put the questions that you, our readers, had about it to Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Minister for FinancePaschal Donohoe, live on Facebook.
“The most important thing that we want to do in this Budget is be prudent,” the Taoiseach said in his opening statement.
“To safeguard the future for our country, to enable families and business and people to plan for the future, and that’s why we decided that we would balance the books for the first time in ten years.”

As Christmas approached, and the weather chilled, Hansard and a group of housing activists had decided they could no longer bear the sight of people sleeping on the streets.
They broke into the Apollo House office block and set about turning it into a homeless shelter. What they did caught the imagination in Ireland. People turned up at the building wanting to offer food and clothes, a mattress seller known locally as Mattress Mick provided bedding, and Hansard and other well-known musicians belted out protest songs from the roof.
Almost a year later, though, Hansard says things have deteriorated.
This month, it was reported that the number of homeless had passed 8,000 for the first time and almost 3,000 of that number were children. Housing charity Focus Ireland calls the figures staggering and says they must represent "a line in the sand" as campaigners pile pressure on the country's new 38-year-old prime minister - or Taoiseach - Leo Varadkar.
So how, a year after the #homesweethome protests sparked such an outpouring of sympathy and emotion, are there now more people homeless? Why does the one of the richest countries in the world have such a crisis? And what needs to be done to tackle it? Hansard, EricaFleming and Noel Rock TD join The Stream to discuss.

Speaking in Dublin, Mr Varadkar says his government agreed to a draft text on the Irish border drawn up by the UK and EU.
He expresses "surprise and disappointment" that the UK could not agree to the text.
While he acknowledges that Theresa May is negotiating in "good faith" and has a lot on her plate, he says he is committed to securing an agreement and moving onto the second phase of negotiations.

Varadkar waves goodbye to McDonald as she's asked to leave the House

Sinn Féin's Mary Lou McDonald and the Taoiseach were involved in yet another spat in the Dáil chamber this afternoon, after Leo Varadkar said McDonald was "cranky".
Replying to the Taoiseach, the Sinn Féin deputy leader said Varadkar was "facile" and "dismissive".
Harsh words have been exchanged between the pair in recent days, with the Taoiseach yesterday accusing McDonald of being scripted, and stating that she reminds him of Marine Le Pen.
It continued into Leaders’ Questions today, when he said Sinn Féin members were constantly interrupting him when he was speaking and again, stating that its deputy leader must spend a lot of time rehearsing her Dáil contributions http://jrnl.ie/3618929

Gerry Adams reveals he and Leo Varadkar once went to the same Pilates class

Vote for Taoiseach: After welcoming Varadkar’s family to the Dáil, Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams gets straight into criticising Varadkar – challenging his record in the departments of health and social protection.
Referring to Varadkar’s age, Adams says “not all young people are progressive” and he fears the new leader will “drag this government even further to the right”.
On a much lighter note, Adams then says he doesn’t know Varadkar well but they once attended the same pilates class.

Leo Varadkar warns Northern Ireland of Brexit consequences

Ireland's new prime minister has used his first visit to Northern Ireland since his election to make a strong plea for action to deal with the consequences of Brexit.
Calling for "unique solutions" to be found, Leo Varadkar warned against a new “economic border” between the North and the South, which will become the UK's only land frontier with the EU after it leaves the bloc.
Describing Brexit as "the challenge of our generation" in a speech at Queen’s University in Belfast, he said he was in…

Oliver callan: meet the new leo - same as the old leo
During the last big freeze, in 2010, there was a record temperature fluctuation. The mercury went from minus 13 to plus 12 degrees in two December days. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar’s dramatic twist in fortunes equal that great thaw. He went from chilly accusations of poor judgement over the Frances Fitzgerald emails issue to Brexit Braveheart in a handful of days. His party is 11 points ahead of Fianna Fáil and his approval rating now matches Enda Kenny’s peak popularity. Please subscribe or sign in ...
